Title: Innovations by Sheldon Plitt
Introduction
Sheldon Plitt is an accomplished inventor based in Leduc, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical submersible pumps, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of pump systems used in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Sheldon Plitt's latest patents is a device, computer program product, and computer-implemented method for backspin detection in an electrical submersible pump assembly. This innovative system is designed to detect a backspin condition of a motor in an electrical submersible pump. It includes a variable speed drive for powering the motor and a controller that monitors input current or impedance to determine changes in motor current impedance. The system impedes operable power to the motor when backspinning is detected and supplies a low AC voltage to monitor the motor's status.
Another notable patent involves systems and methods for automatic forward phasing determination in a downhole pump system. This invention allows for the automatic determination of the proper phasing to drive the pump motor in a forward direction. The method generates a drive signal with an initial phasing, allowing the pump to establish a column of fluid in the borehole. It then determines the forward phasing based on the reverse rotational direction of the pump.
